Impact resistance is one of the most important properties for component designers to consider, as well as the most difficult to quantify. Impact resistance is a critical measure of service life and it involves the perplexing problem of product safety and liability. Instron has more than 80 years experience in designing impact testing systems to simulate real-life impact conditions.
Drop Weight Impact Testers
Instron Drop Towers are used to develop, fine tune, and validate material models. The new 9400 Series produces reliable, repeatable results whether you are testing materials and components before production to improve product acceptance or testing during production to ensure continuous improvement.
Pendulum Testers
Instron pendulums are designed to meet the growing demand for accurate and repeatable impact testing on a wide range of materials.
